    2-0. Great result to take to Greece.

    Two goals from outside the box oddly.

    England struggling in the final third tonight.
    Working so many good positions only for a bad pass, bad cross, poor touch or powderpuff shot to let them down.

    Feels like too many creators, not enough strikers/finishers given how solid and defensive Italy have been since scoring

    Their game plan is reminiscent of how the men’s team used to play a few decades ago.
    Score a goal and then pull 9 players behind the ball and leave one up front.
    They were very well organised.
    I think England deserved to equalise, though.

    That equaliser was extremely satisfying.

    I think you have to admire Wiegman's courage to withhold making changes until very late in the game. Having those fresh legs ultimately proved the key to unlocking Italy. Very brave call which had it backfired would have resulted in an almighty backlash.

    Italy got what they deserved. The better team until they scored and then anti-football.

    IFAB are seriously considering removing rebounds from missed penalties in games so such goals may not be around for much longer.
